Probably my best lead tone but what about the rest?

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Hey guys,

I'm loving the lead tone on this, very happy with it (only a low cut on those, no other EQ), but I'd love your opinions on the rest of the mix.

HERE

Cheers,

Brett

Sounds really good!! Really nice and liquid lead

 

[Skinny Viking]

lead tone is absolutely killer

the rhythms ... this is not a bad thing in any way ... they have an almost early 90's sound to them which is actually really cool

rest of the mix ... well, I wish my mixes sounded as good. Great job man!

 

[Soundlurker]

Sounds good already. I'd suggest you cut some 100-300hz and 2khz-3khz as well as 1.2khz, maybe boost the rest of the low end and the presence just a bit.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Thanks guys for the comments. I changed a very few things on the master EQ that I didn't really like, hopefully it's not making things worse

 

[LeSedna]

I love those leads, indeed.

My own preferences would have led to a more proeminent snare track but I guess it's more personal.

 

[zirkonflex]

Whoa that organ with the toms sounds so odd ... love that

/In the beginning I was like "epic tom sample" then I was like and then like .


/Very nice/modern sounding mix generally, great leads also.
I'd probably have some more low mids going in and cut some of the "modernness", but thats just me.

 

[padr81]

can't offer much constructive crit, just to me the production, the band and the song are all jaw droppingly awesome.

 

[storming heaven]

The lead solo could be louder imo. Killer mix though. Which band is this, the chorus sounds very familiar.

 

[Morgan C]

The music reminds me of good Dream Theater (especially those leads!), and the rhythm tone is quite Children of Bodom-ish. Great job. Only thing is that the drums seem kinda lo-fi/natural in comparison to the guitars. I would brighten the snare a touch.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Thanks guys for the comments, much appreciated!

The band wants to go for a more natural sounding snare drum, but they liked the punch of the first snare I did, so we'll try to find a good compromise. Problem is that I have a lot of hi hats in the snare mic and can't crank the highs...

I agree about the "good" Dream Theater comparison, hence maybe that 90's sound, but with more of a power metal touch. Will post another track in a few hours. Still love that lead tone

Updated the link to another song: HERE

 

[ApeScaleConflict]

Sounds absolutely ace! I had the same 90's vibe on the leads and it kicked me to another level of cockness! SHIT

 

[ApeScaleConflict]

Brett is it OK to post this one to FB? I absolutely love this song!

 

[~BURNY~]

High/High mids sound a bit weird/cluttered on my end. Music is really cool but vocals kind of ruin it for me.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Brett is it OK to post this one to FB? I absolutely love this song!

Cool thank you
Please can you wait until the mix is finished and the band is ok for everything before posting on FB though? Cheers.

What do you mean about the high/high mids Burny?

 

[ApeScaleConflict]

I'd say the vocals are rather damn appropriate sir.

Brett: SURE! Just can't wait to hype it.

 

[~BURNY~]

What do you mean about the high/high mids Burny?

Something around 8 maybe ~10khz. I think it might be the guitars fighting the cymbals and the keys to a lesser extent.

 

[Backe]

the high toms sound a bit weird, and some things are a bit too bright and harsh for my taste. but I'm loving how "real" this sounds, professional as hell.

 

[Nuno Filipe]

In the second clip the voice sounds weird. Seems to be in another room that the rest of the instrumental. I agree also about the brightness of the guitars.
